**Ranveer Allahbadia Controversy**

**Insensitive Joke About Deepika Padukone**
In another episode, a female contestant made a questionable joke about Deepika Padukone’s battle with depression, likening it to her own postpartum experience. During this episode, contestants were judged by Tanmay Bhat, Raghu Ram from ‘Roadies’, and others. Contestant Banti Banerjee stated, “Deepika Padukone also became a mother recently. Now she knows what depression really looks like. I am not trying to insult break-up wala depression. Actually, I am. What is break-up wala depression? Depression happens when your sleep breaks and your kid wakes up in the middle of the night. All those who experience break-up depression should try going through postpartum. They will forget their pain.” Surprisingly, the judges crowned her the winner of the episode.

**Remarks on Dog Meat**
Contestant Jessy Nabam faced legal repercussions after she made controversial remarks about dog meat during the show, which drew condemnation for misrepresenting the people of Arunachal Pradesh. When asked if she had ever eaten dog meat, she responded that it was common among people from her state, although she had never tried it herself, stating, “I know this because my friends do, and sometimes they even eat their pets.”

**Uorfi Javed Walks Out**
Uorfi Javed left the show after two contestants questioned her about her “body count” and made comparisons to adult film star Mia Khalifa. She later expressed her frustration on Instagram, stating, “I think I missed the memo; nowadays, people think it’s cool to abuse someone or shame them for their views. I’m sorry, but I’m not okay with anyone abusing or shaming me about my body count, which they don’t even know but just assumed is high. All this for what? For two minutes of fame? The guy who insulted me wasn’t even joking—he genuinely got upset when I questioned his act of faking a disability!”

**Clothing Controversy on Stage**
The show also faced criticism following Priyanka Halder’s performance last year, where she participated as a model for her friend, a ‘costume cutter.’ The panel of judges included comedian Bharti Singh, her husband Haarsh Limbachiyaa, and singer Tony Kakkar. During the act, Priyanka, dressed in a red bodycon dress, had her outfit altered live on stage. Viewers expressed outrage over this display, especially after learning that she was married with a 15-year-old son.
